Well, i've decided to post a question about the gameplay of PES series, to you, hardened PES fans !
What I'm really wondering, though having playes PES3 and PES4 for many times, how people can rate this game so high. Everyone in the world seems to love this japanase game. This makes me really sick.
PASSING: everything is arranged by robot AI. I mean, no matter where you're thinking or you're moving, when you press button 2 (or button 3) the ball exactly goes towards the team-mate. No skill needed, no thinking required, just press the button and voilà. The manual passing is a crap, as you can direct the ball just in 8 directions... All you need is picking Juventus and press 3 or 4 times the pass button, then accelerate and press the shoot button and you score !!
For SHOOTING the things are even worse: You are moving to, say, midfield but press button 1 and the ball runs right to the goal. You can deflect the shot just for few grades, you can never miss the goal even if you will ! Say you wanna hit the post...you cannot! AI puts the ball inside the goal.
MOVEMENTS are simply groggy. how stupid you got a modern, analog joystick and be forced to use 8 directions...
Guys, I wonder why you like this game which is almost totally played by AI.
Maybe I'm wrong, or something I miss.
Furthermore, it eats so much CPU you need a top fast computer to play it.
I started with Matchday (C64), KickOff (Amiga) in late 80s, then came Fifa. I cant's really play this crap called PES...
For Fifa, its eternal rival, things are about the same. I've played all the versions, only Fifa 2002 seems to be worth buying. Passing, shoothing, moving are smooth and controlled only by the PLAYER. You can fake shoots, give spin to the ball, miss goals, call teammates for sprinting, etc.
Fifa 2005 seems just PES with analog support...
What you think about ?
